Hofbrauhaus Restaurant - Helen (GA)

4 /5 Erica Santana: Overall, we had a good experience. The restaurant had a cool look. The outside The potato pancakes were good- crispy on the outside. They had a hint of flavor, but needed more. It was great with the apple sauce. The pretzel was fluffy and soft with very delicious cheese! It was so cheesy and had a distinct taste. I think in general our problem was the good was bland. My husband had the chicken sandwich and said it was good- the flavor coming from the burnt parts. I got the beef roast- it was good, but it was slathered in gravy. The carrots and potatoes needed seasoning. My son got the chicken schnitzel. It was soggy. The mashy potatoes had a good texture, but needed seasoning. The spaetzle was also soggy- maybe thats how they are supposed to be? I dont know much about German food, but maybe this is how its supposed to taste?? We went back a second time and sat in a different room- there were no TVs and the lights were super bright so we got out food to go. The pretzel was just as good. The french onion soup was okay- probably better there. The mozzarella was not was stretchy/stringy as I remember. It also might not have been mozzarella- not sure. We also had a piece of German chocolate cake. It was good. The cake was moist and the cream was thick with coconut and nuts!

5 /5 Noel Leonardo: Great place. When we walked up we were greeted by Charlie ,who was the sweetest. The food smelt amazing. We got a great seat on the patio with our dog. That’s a plus, it’s pet friendly on the patio. Our server Jamie was awesome, very nice and welcoming with great suggestions for food choices. It was beautiful weather with live music. My husband and I really enjoyed while on vacation. Thank you.

3 /5 Karla Daza: The place was nice overall. We were a group of six and arrived around 7:00 pm. We waited about an hour to get an outdoor table. Once seated, it took approximately 30 minutes for the food to be served. We ordered two ribeyes and one hamburger. Unfortunately, all the meats arrived burnt on the outside. We had ordered them medium well, and while the internal temperature was correct, the exterior was overcooked and had a strong burnt flavor, as if the grill had not been properly cleaned. This was very disappointing. Additionally, the food overall lacked seasoning and salt. On the positive side, our server was kind and attentive, she changed one of our ribeye and it came better. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant. We also appreciated that the restaurant is pet-friendly and allowed us to bring our dog. The ribeye sandwich was the best part of the night—it had great flavor and was really enjoyable.

5 /5 Amelia Tyler: Our 1st time in Helen, visiting to check out the town for Oktoberfest. Our meals at the Hofbrauhaus were by far the best we had the entire weekend. The food came out fast, hot, and tasty. The portions were generous and the beer was cold, can’t ask for much more than that! We enjoyed sitting both inside with a view of the river and outside to enjoy the live festive music. The blackberry bourbon smash was also great! You can definitely split the apple strudel. Would absolutely recommend eating here and we look forward to a return trip.
